Martin told the paper that this did not mean the party was preparing to be the junior coalition partner in any government.

He said: “Not necessarily - sure we don’t know. There’s a lot of volatility out there. The volatility isn’t over. Politics is at a very low ebb now in terms of public perception.

“People are angry with the political system. They’re very annoyed that no change has happened to the political system. They actually believed all parties had signed on for radical change.”

Considering the record of Mr Martin's gang for incompetence, corruption and spineless forelock tipping to the Roman church he should be afraid to go outside alone. A good number of his former government colleagues should be strung up on trees instead of being paid bloated pensions from the public purse. Unfortunately Ireland as a whole is populated by a people so disillusioned by independence and so lacking in political choice they might well vote Mr. Martin's gombeen gang back in. That's the problem in Ireland: no matter who you vote for all you get is an incompetent gombeen clown out to feather his own nest.
i can't bear to even look at this weasel - what's wrong with paddies and bridgets voting for another zero.
Here's an idea for Mr. Martin. Evaluate the people in all the parties based on their votes cast that help the most people in Ireland. Then talk to those people about forming a new party.
Michael deserves credit for not deserting the party like the other Party rats did,rather than face the electorate. His best hope is to Found a new party,drawing honestly on the lessons of the past disasterous policies. ~~~ The right wing and agricultural voters are just waiting for a respectable choice!
Stupid typo in last comment
Is it possible that people are that stupit ???When i left Ireland 30 years ago it was in real bad shape real bad. To day its a sham I became a U.S. citizen in '98Ireland today is only a bad dream in my past Let the vultures choke on its carcus
Not a chance Meehaul. Fianna Fail will never be allowed to hold power in Ireland ever again. Any party that aligns itself with your toxic brand will also be infected. Face facts, Meehaul, Fianna Fail betrayed Ireland and can never be forgiven.
